Guy Evans & Peter Hammill - The Union Chapel Concert (cd)

The Union Chapel Concert was a one-off event that brought together VDGG's Guy Evans and Peter Hammill plus several notable guests, including David Jackson, Hugh Banton, Manny Elias and Stuart Gordon.

Perhaps the surprise of this evening in 1997 was that not only did it re-unite the mid-1970s VDGG line-up for the first time in two decades, but that the band played the Van Der Graaf classic Lemmings.

Elsewhere, Evans/Hammill duo pieces are performed as are solo pieces by Hammill, Jackson and Gordon.

Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other (cd)

VDGG's Charisma label debut was equal parts beauty and chaos. Containing the lovely, anthemic Refugees, via the apocalyptic White Hammer and After The Flood, the album also introduced the world to the astonishing wall of noise dramatics that would reach a peak on Pawn Hearts.

Van Der Graaf Generator - ALT (cd)

Following on from the huge success of A Grounding In Numbers, ALT is the new release from the legendary Van Der Graaf Generator.

Peter Hammill says, "Most of the music on ALT was made while we weren't really looking, or perhaps only while the left side of our collective brain was engaged. The album is a mixture of improvisations recorded at sound checks and in the studio and more considered sonic creations which often verge on Musique Concrete."

Van Der Graaf Generator - The Aerosol Grey Machine (cd)

A blueprint for the future, VDGG's 1969 debut is ample testament to Peter Hammill's already apparent originality and creativity.

More acoustic and melodic than much that followed, The Aerosol Grey Machine sits between the singer-songwriter intimacy of Fool's Mate and the brooding, apocalyptic Progressive sound of The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other.

An all too often overlooked gem, this is the Fie! label digital re-master (Fie! 9116).
